09/03/2012 - PLAYERS TO WATCH: Senior wide receiver Dyrell Roberts is looking to return to form this fall after having season-ending injuries each of the past two seasons. Roberts, a speedster who was one of the top kickoff return men in 2009, was hit on the thigh on a return in the Georgia Tech game in 2010. After the game, it was bruised, but nothing out of the ordinary. As the night went on and the pain increased, he was finally rushed to Montgomery Regional Hospital and had a series of surgeries over the next week to relieve pressure in his thigh from compartment syndrome. Without the surgeries, he could've suffered permanent muscle damage. Roberts missed the rest of the season and practiced sparingly in the spring, but returned last fall and broke the school record for career kickoff return yards with a 25-yarder against Appalachian State. - Virginia Tech football
